Im on a tier where no tears should ever fall
Cell block and locked - I never clock it yall

They got me servin to those and to them
Im not a citizen

Sleepin on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
On the strength, ima tell you the deal
I got nothin to lose
cause Im goin for the steel

When Chuck says:
"I caught a C.O. falling asleep on death row
I grabbed his gun and he did what I said so"
...it's one of my favorite moments in hip hop. It ain't nothing too crazy, just the way instead of simply saying "he did what I told him to" Chuck says "he did what I said so"...
Just one of those little things great hip hop does with language, reinventing the way language is used, just some ill rhymes, it always gets me jazzed...
Classic track, as great as any of the great P.E. tracks and there's a lot...
